Oct 2015 - Nov 2018
Mapped South Atlantic tectonic ocean-bottom features, such as fracture zones, abyssal hills, etc., with unprecedented precision. • Used GMT (on a UNIX platform) to process and analyze large bathymetry and gravity time series data sets (derived from satellite altimetry data from the Cryosat 1 and Jason climatology missions) • Combined the gravity, tectonic feature and magnetic field data into a series of high-resolution tectonic-magnetic gravity maps (generated in 0.5-million-year increments) • Created a movie using these 0.5-million-year maps demonstrating the evolution of the Walvis Ridge (offshore Namibia) and Rio Grande Rise (offshore Brazil/Uruguay) seamounts chains in great detail Show less
